Mail Art

About this collection

The Oberlin College Mail Art Collection, housed in the Clarence Ward Art Library, consists of two archives:

Reid Wood's State of Being Archive

Harley Francis' Terra-Candella Achive

Together these archives contain over 25,000 works from the mid-1970's to 2004, produced by more than 1,800 mail artists from around the world.

The work of many of these artists can be found in our Mail Art Imagebase, where you can search by title, artist, or collection. Save records to the Favorites folder to export as a .cvs or PowerPoint file. Contact us with questions or to report a problem with the Mail Art Imagebase.
